MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN
BONUS AGREEMENT
This SYSCO CORPORATION FISCAL YEAR 2012 MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN BONUS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) was adopted by the Committee pursuant to the Sysco Corporation 2009 Management Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) (a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 1) and agreed to by the Company and _____________ (“Executive”) effective August ___, 2011. This Agreement is effective for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012 (the “Plan Year”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given them in the Plan.
1. Calculation of Bonus.
(a) Subject to the further adjustments and limitations provided for in the Plan and this Agreement, the bonus Executive may earn under this Agreement shall equal the sum of the following:
| (A) Company Earnings Growth Bonus — | ||||||||||||||
Bonus Target Amount | X | Company Earnings Growth Bonus Percentage | X | 50 | % | = | Company Earnings Growth Bonus | |||||||
| (B) Company Sales Growth Bonus — | ||||||||||||||
Bonus Target Amount | X | Company Sales Growth Bonus Percentage | X | 30 | % | = | Company Sales Growth Bonus | |||||||
| (C) Company Capital Efficiency Bonus — | ||||||||||||||
Bonus Target Amount | X | Company Capital Efficiency Bonus Percentage | X | 20 | % | = | Company Capital Efficiency Bonus | |||||||
Each of the above components of Executive’s bonus shall be calculated and awarded independently. Executive will not receive one or more of the components of the bonus set forth in this Section 1(a) if the Company does not achieve the “Threshold” level of performance as set forth in the applicable Table B attached hereto. For purposes of illustration, if the Company achieves the threshold Increase in Sales and Return on Invested Capital but does not achieve the threshold Increase in Earnings Per Share, each as set forth in the applicable Table B attached hereto, Executive will receive a Company Sales Growth
Bonus and Company Capital Efficiency Bonus but will not receive a Company Earnings Growth Bonus for the Plan Year.
(b) General Rules Regarding Bonus Calculation.
(i) Consistent Accounting. In determining whether or not Executive is entitled to a bonus under this Agreement, the Company’s accounting practice and generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) shall be applied on a basis consistent with prior periods, and such determination shall be based on the calculations made by the Company, approved by the Committee and binding on Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is any material change in GAAP during a Plan Year that results in a material change in accounting for the revenues or expenses of the Company the calculations of the relevant Table B percentage for the Plan Year (the “GAAP Change Year”) shall be made as if such change in GAAP had not occurred during the GAAP Change Year. In determining the Increase in Earnings Per Share for the Company in the year following the GAAP Change Year, the calculation shall be made after taking into account such change in GAAP.
(ii) Maximum Bonus. Nothing contained in the Plan or this Agreement shall be construed to allow the payment of a bonus under this Agreement based on a percentage in excess of 225% of Executive’s MIP salary for the year in which the bonus was earned.
(iii) Tax Law Changes. If the Internal Revenue Code is amended during the Plan Year and, as a result of such amendment(s), the effective tax rate applicable to the earnings of the Company (as described in the Income Taxes footnote to the financial statements contained in the Company’s annual report to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K for the Plan Year) changes during the year, the calculation of the relevant Table B percentages for such Plan Year (the “Rate Change Year”) shall be made as if such rate change had not occurred during the Rate Change Year. In determining the Increase in Earnings Per Share for the Company in the year following the Rate Change Year, the calculation shall be made after taking into account such rate change.
2. Performance Metric Adjustments. Certain items of revenue, expense, gain, losses or other adjustments may be excluded from the determination of the relevant performance metrics used to determine Executive’s bonus under this Agreement. Such items will be taken into account in the determination of Executive’s bonus in accordance with the following:
(a) Business Transformation Expenses: — Expenditures relating to the Company’s Business Transformation Project determined in accordance with GAAP and past Company practice as disclosed in the Company’s books and records as “Project 212 Costs” (“Business Transformation Expenses”) shall initially be excluded from the calculation of the performance metrics used to determine Executive’s bonus under this Agreement provided however, the Committee may include all or any portion of such Business Transformation Expenses in the determination of Executive’s bonus hereunder in its discretion, if the Committee determines that the inclusion of all or any portion of such Business Transformation Expenses will not impact the Company’s ability to deduct all or any portion of the bonus payable to Executive under this Agreement under Section 162(m) of the Code.
(b) Multi-Employer Pension Adjustments: — Adjustments resulting from the Company’s or an Operating Company’s complete or partial withdrawal from a multi-employer pension plan sponsored by a third party in which the Company or one of its Operating Companies participates (“Pension Adjustments”). The amount of any such adjustments shall be determined in accordance with GAAP. Pension Adjustments shall initially be excluded from the calculation of the performance metrics used to determine Executive’s bonus under this Agreement; provided however, the Committee may include all or any portion of such Pension Adjustments in the determination of Executive’s bonus hereunder in
its discretion, if the Committee determines that the inclusion of all or any portion of such Pension Adjustments will not impact the Company’s ability to deduct all or any portion of the bonus payable to Executive under this Agreement under Section 162(m) of the Code.
(c) Acquisitions and Divestitures: — Operating results, acquisition and divestiture expenses (including any applicable break up fees), acquisition debt, if any, and any gains or losses relating to or resulting from (i) an acquisition by the Company of stock (or other equity interest) or substantially all of the assets of a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity for a purchase price in excess of $40 million; and (ii) a divestiture of an Operating Company or operating division of the Company (including a sale of all or substantially all of the assets thereof) for a sale price in excess of $40 million shall be excluded from the determination of Executive’s bonus under this Agreement.
(d) Other Extraordinary Events. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, include or exclude from the determination of the relevant performance metrics the results of certain items not otherwise contemplated by this Section 2 if the Committee determines that the inclusion or exclusion of such extraordinary items will not impact the Company’s ability to deduct all or any portion of the bonus payable to Executive under this Agreement under Section 162(m) of the Code.
3. Payment. Within ninety (90) days following the end of the Plan Year, the Company shall determine and the Committee shall approve the amount of any bonus earned by Executive under this Agreement. Such bonus shall be payable in the manner, at the times and in the amounts provided in the Plan.
4. Clawback of Bonus. In accordance with the Company’s incentive payment clawback policy, in the event of a restatement of financial results (other than a restatement due to a change in accounting policy) within thirty-six (36) months of the payment of a bonus under this Agreement, and in connection with such restatement the Committee determines in its sole and absolute discretion, that the bonus paid to Executive under this Agreement for the Plan Year would have been lower had it been calculated based on such restated results (the “Adjusted MIP Bonus”), then the Company shall have the right, subject to applicable governing law, to recoup from Executive, in such form and at such time as the Committee determines in its sole and absolute discretion, the excess of the amount of the incentive payment previously paid to Executive pursuant to this Agreement (without regard to amounts deferred by Executive under the Company’s executive benefit plans) over the Adjusted MIP Bonus (the “Excess Payment”). Executive hereby agrees that Executive shall promptly repay to the Company the amount of any Excess Payment received by Executive pursuant to this Agreement at the time or times and in the form determined by the Committee.
5. Confidentiality. Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that the target performance levels set forth on Table B, attached hereto, constitute confidential information of the Company, subject to the prohibition on disclosure of confidential information under Sysco’s Code of Conduct. Any disclosure of the target performance levels by Executive prior to the time such target performance levels are disclosed to or known by the public, as determined by the Committee, will result in the forfeiture by Executive of any bonus otherwise payable to Executive under this Agreement for the Plan Year.
